Internet providers in Dallas, TX

What is the fastest internet provider in Dallas?

AT&T, EarthLink, Frontier, and Optimum are the fastest internet providers in Dallas. In areas where fiber internet is available, you can get plans with speeds up to 7,000 Mbps. EarthLink (which uses AT&T’s network infrastructure) also has 2,000 Mbps and 5,000 Mbps speeds on fiber plans.

Dallas is home to internet providers that give you plans with 1,000 Mbps or 940 Mbps speeds—the main ones being Spectrum and Optimum. While that’s not the absolute fastest, it’s still very powerful and more cost-effective for most internet users.

What are the fiber internet providers in Dallas?

AT&T, EarthLink, Frontier, and Optimum all provide fiber internet in parts of Dallas. Fiber internet is less widely available compared to other internet types, so you may only find one or two of these providers in your neighborhood. But we recommend going for fiber internet if you can get it because it’s incredibly fast and cost-effective.

Fiber internet providers in Dallas

AT&T — fiber speeds up to 5,000 Mbps
EarthLink — fiber speeds up to 5,000 Mbps
Frontier — fiber speeds up to 7,000 Mbps
Optimum — fiber speeds up to 8,000 Mbps

Dallas residential internet coverage

Dallas, Fort Worth, and many of the area’s suburbs are covered by AT&T, Optimum, and Spectrum. But you may find you have a few more internet providers to choose from depending on which neighborhood or suburb you live in.

Fort Worth

(Arlington Heights, Crestwood, Linwood, Monticello, Ridgmar, and Westover Hills)

Along with AT&T and Spectrum, certain neighborhoods in Fort Worth can get their fill of all things internet with Windstream.

Dallas

(North Dallas and Northwest Dallas)

If you call North or Northwest Dallas home, you’ve got a choice between Windstream, AT&T, and Spectrum.

Dallas–Fort Worth Suburbs

(Allen, Denton, Frisco, Garland, Irving, Plano, and Richardson)

AT&T, Spectrum, and Frontier cover this region. However, Frontier doesn’t extend its service to downtown Dallas or Fort Worth.

Areas East of Dallas

AT&T, Frontier, and Optimum are available in Rockwall and Terrell.

AT&T is typically the lowest-priced option in this area. If you opt for its DSL plan, you can get speeds up to 100 Mbps, but we’d recommend fiber if you can get it—a speed of 300 Mbps will be perfect for a mid-sized household. Frontier gives you a two-year price guarantee, so if you plan on calling the great state of Texas home for a while, there’s no need to worry about price hikes.

Methodology

HighSpeedInternet.com compares internet providers within cities and metro areas to give customers the most relevant insights into their internet options. When comparing providers, we consider the following:

Provider coverage areas
Advertised speeds
Real-world speeds (speed test data)
Customer feedback
Other relevant localized data

We source localized coverage data displayed on our coverage maps from the FCC coverage database, which is updated every six months. For the most current summary of providers in your area, we recommend you use our zip code search tool, which offers the most recent coverage data straight from internet service providers (ISPs).

Our city overviews compare advertised provider speeds. We may also include real-world speed data gathered from millions of annual speed test results. To process our speed test data, we first filter out outliers and providers with low test counts. We then calculate speed averages with every ISP subject to the same parameters.

We gather ISP customer feedback data from our comprehensive annual surveys and direct customer feedback submitted to HighSpeedInternet.com. Unless stated otherwise, average ratings are calculated nationally.
